• 5 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to appeal to the Minister that he seems to be missing the theme of this Motion. The theme of the Motion is for him to come and explain to us what he is doing to return the country to normalcy. We would like him, kindly, to change his tone. The strong points that he is giving us are important, but he will give them to the teachers during negotiations. Right now, let us have a tone that will return our children to class. view
• 4 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not know whether the hon. Assistant Minister was listening to himself. He told us that they put this road as a one-line item in the budget and, therefore, went ahead and tendered as they were waiting for the Treasury to pump in more money. Could he tell us who comes up with that decision because in the five years that have intervened, many other roads have been given money and constructed. What standard did you use to discriminate against the people of Ukambani? view
• 4 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, is the Assistant Minister in order to suggest that, for that reason they cannot pay Abass when he knows that every year, the Government of Kenya pays out monies to widows, through two special funds called the Asiatic Widows’ and Orphans’ Pension Fund and the European Widows’ and Orphans’ Pension Fund? These are widows of officers who served with Abass Sheikh before Independence. The Government has no shame of setting aside funds for those people and leave out a group of other people, who are actually black Kenyans. Is this not the same discrimination that the ... view
• 4 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, my point of order is on a very small issue, but which is important. I just reminded the Assistant Minister that we have two funds in the Ministry, which address widows of Asiatic and European origins, who worked with this old man in the same army. view
• 4 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want him to clarify, so that the rest of the people who have issues similar to that of Abass do not have to queue outside his office, or come to their Members of Parliament for redress. I would like him to make an announcement here on the same or put up an advertisement through the electronic and print media, asking such people view
• 4 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I think it is important that since this is arising from a Kamukunji we held earlier on in the day, that the Minister also clarifies to Kenyans that this is not a deliberate attempt by Parliament or by his Ministry, to extend the date of the next elections. We would like you to come out clearly that the fourth coming general election will be on 4th March, 2013. view
• 4 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. With regard to the intended amendment Motion, it is within the rules of this House that a Motion that should be debated by the House should not be unconstitutional. I want to draw the attention of the mover to Article 231(3) of the Constitution of Kenya. It provides that the CBK shall not be under the direction or control of any person or authority in the exercise of its powers or in the performance of its functions. I am inviting you to find, if the hon. Member does not agree ... view
• 4 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as the Chair of the Committee, it befalls upon me to ensure that the Minister does not mislead the House. After hon. Kimunya left office, and hon. Kenyatta took over, no single interim order was made. I am speaking with authority from the evidence adduced on this matter. The interim orders that had been made were made earlier on. The current currency notes are dirty because they have taken so long to be replaced. I have it in evidence that hon. Kenyatta did not make or preside over any interim orders. view
